Oreca did provide 6-7 mechanics and technicians and David Flourey helped with some design aspects of the TS050's aero package it seems. It also seems that TMG did plan on Oreca moving on to another project as per the SC365 article they (TMG and Oreca) were planning on such a move for at least a couple of years.
As for testing, TMG are based in Cologne, which if I remember correctly isn't too far away from Nurburgring or Spa, and TMG both in the GT-One and current LMP era have frequently tested at Spa.
